Her mission is to help athletes develop skills that separate them from the rest and to give insight + help with the recruiting process. She also emphasizes the psychological importance of soccer, as it is an instrumental role in bettering oneself in the game.
“The game of soccer isn’t just about putting on your cleats and playing whistle to whistle. It’s about understanding the several aspects that go into the game. The mental, physical, emotional aspects. We want to help players gain respect for the game, and to also gain respect for themselves. It doesn’t matter how good a player can be if their mind isn’t in tune with their body. It is unbelievably amazing how a player can achieve so much more with a correct mindset.”
